RENUC: Reconstruct Galaxies from Multiple-Galaxy Photometry


\begin{command}
\item[Form: RENUC source {[BOX=n]} {[EX=(n1,n2,...)]} {[LIM=(n1...
... using the individual isophote centers for
galaxies n1, n2, etc.}
\end{command}

RENUC reconstructs a model of a multiple galaxy system or any combination of its component galaxies from the multiple galaxy system photometry computed by the SNUC command.

The EX keyword is used to select those galaxies NOT to be reconstructed. Similarly, the INC keyword can be used to select only those galaxy models to be included in the reconstruction.

If the quality of the outer isophote solutions for any galaxy is poor, they can be ignored by the reconstruction algorithm with the LIM keyword.

CENTER tells the routine to use any isophote dependent centers for the reconstruction that may have been measured with the CENTER option in the SNUC command (at this time, this option does not work well).


\begin{example}
\item[RENUC 1\hfill]{Reconstruct the entire system fitted by SN...
...ENUC 1 LIM=(0,2)\hfill]{Do not use the last isophote of galaxy 2.}
\end{example}
